Improved fault diagnostics of a dynamic aircraft fuel system using the digraph approach
conference contribution
posted on 2008-12-03, 16:41 authored by Emma M. Kelly, Lisa JacksonLisa JacksonFault diagnosis has developed into an integral part of engineering applications.Within the increasing
safety conscious climate of today’s world, prompt detection, diagnosis and rectification of faults is imperative
to the operation of a system. In the case of commercial aircraft, efficient diagnosis can minimise both the financial
cost of downtime and the disruption caused to passenger travel. The diagnostic method described in this
paper is based on the application of the digraph procedure. Digraphs model the information flow, and hence
fault propagation, through a system. A computational method has been successfully developed to conduct the
fault diagnostics process and produce a list of the determined fault combinations. Guidelines are provided for
a mechanism to further identify the most likely cause(s) of a given deviation. This paper looks in detail at the
application of the diagnostic method to a commercial aircraft fuel system with integrated control.
